8 days Post-op!

Hello friends.Thanks for all the prayers sent my way.I really could feel them! Well--everything has gone quite smoothly except the amount of pain surprised me.I am fairly stoic and don't like to admit to too much pain but as long as I stay on my pain meds I do alright.What does really surprise me is they say you feel full fast.Whew.For most of us wolfing down food was never a problem but now after a few bites I am full.It's a great tool.Ca'nt wait to get off liquids and actually "chew" again. People tell me my face looks thinnner.I get staples and drain out on Thurs.Ca'nt wait.Better run.Godspeed to each and everyone of you.Love,Shelley
